Reviews
Excellent book! The original Nancy Drew books are so enjoyable to read. This story is one of my favorites. I think newer books are incomparable to the engaging plots and vivid prose of older stories. This is especially true concerning the Nancy Drew mysteries. In this story, Nancy uses wit and wisdom to overcome a formidable antagonist, all while aiding an elderly woman who has fallen on hard times.
